During installation, you need to type the password that protects the configuration and access to the agent. Here, simply select one password and remember it. Note that the default port on which the agent operates is 4495. You can change this port during installation or, later on (Advanced Configuration tab). If you use a firewall, you must open the used port. The installation program also has additional instructions in reference to configuring the agent. If communication security is an issue (e.g. when you use the application over Internet) you can use encrypted communication to protect data streams.
Installing the Net Monitor for Employees Agent on Terminal Services (RDP) Server
Application can monitor individual TS (RDP) sessions. In this case agent has to be installed on Terminal Services Server using the same procedure as described in previous chapter. Each session uses different TCP port starting with 65000. So if you want to monitor e.g. a 100 sessions then TCP ports from 65000 - 65100 has to be open on TS server firewall. You need to add only server to the monitoring console because sessions will appear automatically.

FAQ
What should I do if I can't see remote screens? The problem is usually caused by firewall or antivirus software. Windows automatically installs and enables firewall. Make sure that port TCP 4495 is open on remote computer's firewall. You can try to temporary disable a firewall on remote computer to see if this solves the connectivity problem. You can read more about enabling ports on Windows Firewall here:
Windows XP:
http://www.microsoft.com/technet/community/columns/cableguy/cg0204.mspx
Where recorded AVI files are stored? AVI files are located on remote computer in \dr subfolder where agent is installed. Network share for this folder can be created to play those files remotely.
My Antivirus or Antispyware detected your application as dangerous. When our application become more popular, a lot of antispyware and antivirus programs started to recognize it as dangerous. Our application does not open any secret doors or anything similar - it just allows you to monitor other computers and this is enough for antivirus and antispyware production companies to flag it as dangerous. The only way to avoid this is to put the application on exclusion list.

Setup is highly dependent on your network configuration. If your remote computers have global IP then you can just open used TCP port 4495 on all firewalls and start using the application.
FAQ
If your remote computers are behind the router, then you will need to configure router also (port forwarding, virtual server NAT,... - depends on your network architecture). Agent acts as TCP server. You need to create a new virtual server on your router. Every user needs separate virtual server on different port. All those ports have to be forwarded to different local IP and to port 4495. When this is done you have to add computers to the console. Here you use your global IP or hostname for all computers, but you use different port that is equal to your forwarded port. If you don't have a static IP you can use some free dynamic DNS service like www.no-ip.com where you will receive a domain e.g. your_name.no-ip.biz that can be used instead of IP. A program from www.no-ip.com will automatically update a DNS when your IP is changed. The other more simple solution is to use VPN. Using VPN will solve all problems regarding NAT and dynamic/local IP addresses, since your network will look like a local network even when used over the internet. With Windows XP Professional VPN server is already included. You can read more here: http://www.zdnetasia.com/insight/network/0,39044847,39050037-39000223c-1,00.htm
What indicates the "Not authenticated" status? The "Not authenticated" status indicates that the password entered during agent installation is not the same as password used when adding the computer in the console. We suggest that you choose Properties in the console (for specific computer - click right mouse button) and enter the password again. You can also check the agent's passwords by opening agent configuration utility using your password. If you forgot your agent's password, please uninstall agent using our installation package and install it again. Sometimes problem appear because of console's configuration file corruption. In such case you will have to delete the following folder (and add computers again): {folder where application is installed}\users or (on Windows Vista / Windows 7): C:\ProgramData\Net Monitor for Employees Pro\users
